Good horse books? My favorite horse book is often the last one I've read. But over the years I've found some I believe are a cut above the rest - horse books I happily recommend.


A confession.

If you order a book through this site I get a commission. That's always nice.


But, if you're anything like me, you love spending time in a bookstore.


So, if you find an idea for a good horse book here and take that idea to your neighborhood bookstore I really can't blame you. I won't even be the least bit upset - especially if a tall coffee mocha is a part of your visit!

Take a look at our suggestions. You might find just the right horse book for your horse lover, or for yourself!.

(If your horse lover is very pleased with something you've found here we'd love to hear about it.)

    A Book for Friesian Lovers-

    Torden, Hear the Thunder is about a Freisian stallion but is a book certain to be enjoyed by all horse lovers. You can get it through Amazon.com but I recommend you visit the author's web site, www.tordenspage.com where you can read Chapter 1 (I did, it tastes like more!), view some photos of the beautiful Friesian breed, and review the Friesian's history.

  • The Four Foot Bookshelf is a good place to look for an idea. These are books we own or have borrowed - doesn't matter, they're all good titles. You'll find most of the ones highlighted in the various categories plus many others. There's nothing on the Bookshelf that we'd be uncomfotable with in recommending to you.

If you're searching for reviews, essays, or horse books you will not find in the usual places, horse-books-pony-stories.com is a central location to find horse books to entertain, educate and enlighten. Self-Published and Print On Demand books, with a special emphasis on material that sparks a child’s interest in books.


And then there's Xenophon, the guy that started it all with his Art of Horsemanship. Find out more in the article we've written by clicking here.
